A rare possibility surfaced – no international cricket for a fortnight, anywhere in the world. That hasn’t happened in a long while, definitely not this year. But, what follows the empty fortnight is a barrage of matches, with half a dozen teams playing each other quite a bit.

As two players are banned, two more are fined and one is reported for a suspected illlegal bowling action, our latest cricket news video calls the Sri Lanka-India series one which has caused a bit of a hangover.

India’s middle-order batsman Rohit Sharma has maintained that he will not curb his favourite pull stroke despite falling prey to the shot on the fourth day of the third Test against Sri Lanka in Colombo on Monday.

Ugly tiffs and some intense cricket filled day four of the final Test at SSC Colombo, as India set Sri Lanka a target of 386 runs for the fourth innings and moved into a good position to claim a rare series win away from home.

Ishant Sharma took five wickets and India built their lead to 132 in second innings losing three quick wickets when rain stopped play on day three of the final Test in Colombo with 15 wickets falling to open the game up.
